Usage hints

It might take some time to display traffic information after
starting network monitoring, when Resolve addresses is ON. If
you switch it on the fly, it effects only on new connections. Please turn
it ON only if you really need it. Once resolved Show
Traffic is using its own resolve caching system. Addresses cache
got lost when you close the program.

When monitoring is started Show
Traffic could decrease network performance of your computer if there
is too much network traffic to handle.

History

27.07.2008 - version 1.7.0

Changed the way data is filled. Thanks to Adam Bailey for the source code and the support!

Added new column for packet count. Thanks to Adam Bailey for the source code and the support!

Added "Do not use promiscuous mode" option

Added the Data counter in the status bar. Keep in mind that Show Traffic works with all data
including packet headers and all statistics except the Data counter shows the total traffic
count, including packet headers.

Changed installer. Now it gives the user option to download WinPcap instead of including the setup inside.

11.12.2005 - version 1.6.0

Packet list now stay filled after pressing the stop button

Added "Freeze" button to temporary freeze the traffic list, so you can take
a better look at the traffic without stopping the capture (and logging).
